Summer's End

The pampas grasses' tassels start to show
Creamy white against green
Behind the Crepe Myrtle's color
Banked like a sunrise preened

Gray clouds tinged with luminous light
From clear to magenta
A somber morn parenthesized
By stillness; fear enters

Silvery blanket drapes the woods
A foggy damp surrounds
Crickets sing a chipper melody
'Pon the damp, cool ground

Roosters' crows fall flat in the vale
Weighted by the moist air
Birds begin to awake and sing
Songs of love ending fair_

What will this day's purpose reveal?
Good, evil or neutral?
Only God knows ahead the events
Even the unusual
